You can help us by dropping that code into your existing application and letting us know that if anything no longer works. Please file a bug and be sure to mention that you’re testing against jQuery 1.6.4.

We want to encourage everyone from the community to try and get involved in contributing back to jQuery core. We’ve set up a full page of information dedicated towards becoming more involved with the team. The team is here and ready to help you help us!

jQuery 1.6.4 Change Log

The current change log of the 1.6.4 release.

Data

#10194: Data attribute names with single dash-surrounded letters cannot be accessed by the camel-case name

Event

#10208: $(“form”).live(“submit”, fn) not fired from <button type=”submit”> in IE8

#10208 ONLY affects IE 8, and only live() + form submit. I concede that it’s not a trivial bug, but I wouldn’t think it’d merit a point release especially considering it works in 1.6.2. Pretty sure I’ve seen much larger (impact-wise) bugs that didn’t push a release, but perhaps I’m wrong.

And in the end I’m much happier with more releases vs. fewer releases :)

Check out the description of the release again. Although only a few issues were fixed, it released nonetheless to “shore up” the 1.6.x branch should projects not be ready/willing to upgrade to 1.7.x when it drops.

I am getting the error “too much recursion” on line 660 of the uncompressed 1.6.4 library. I don’t know what’s triggering it. It’s something that happens on document ready. I never got that message before, with version 1.4.4. All I did was change the version of jQuery, and this error started popping up. It causes Firefox 7.0 to crash entirely. I got the error message in FF 3.6 for Linux.

I am getting the following error in safari
“Value undefined (result of expression window[objectname]) is not an object. Cannot be used with new”. This is happening only if I am including jquery 1.6.2 or jquery 1.6.4. Working fine with jquery 1.5.2 and jquery 1.4.2.
